On August 16, the U.S. Postal Service unveiled the Luna Moth stamp at the Great American Stamp Show in Louisiana. This stamp, priced at the non-machinable surcharge rate, is designed for use on irregularly sized envelopes like square greeting cards and invitations. The luna moth, known for its striking green color and large size, adorns the stamp, which is available in panes of 20 at Post Office locations nationwide and online.
The Luna Moth stamp was designed by USPS’s art director, Derry Noyes, using an image by artist Joseph Scheer. The intricate design features a pale green luna moth with detailed wings and body, created using advanced scanning technology to capture every detail of the moth accurately. The stamp bears the words “NON-MACHINEABLE SURCHARGE” and “USA,” ensuring its perpetual validity like a Forever stamp.
Customers can purchase the Luna Moth stamp and other philatelic products through various channels, including the Postal Store online, by phone, by mail, or at local Post Office locations. The USPS Officially Licensed Collection on Amazon also offers officially licensed stamp products for enthusiasts. Additional information on stamps, first-day-of-issue ceremonies, and stamp-related products can be found at StampsForever.com.
The United States Postal Service, a self-financing federal establishment, serves nearly 169 million addresses with mail and package delivery six to seven days a week. Governed by a bipartisan Board of Governors, the USPS is undergoing a 10-year transformation plan, Delivering for America, aimed at modernizing its operations, enhancing financial sustainability, improving service quality, and preserving its reputation as a trusted brand.
As a self-sustaining entity, the Postal Service relies on revenue from postage, products, and services, operating independently from taxpayer funding.
